Patient Reviews

Staff was extremely courteous and catered to the comfort of the patient. The office was clean and the equipment in excellent condition. We were able to get an emergency appointment quickly and the service was excellent. My daughter-in-law, Sarah, just started with Alivio Dental and she too has been extremely satisfied!

Very good dental office! Friendly and helpful staff! They are always willing to lend a helping hand. Though they are out of network for my company but I still felt comfortable going there. Both cost and service was great. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends!

Went here about 3 weeks ago - first time i been to a dentist in 16 years because i had not great experiences from childhood. Dr. Kaur and her staff were amazing, if not excellent. They did not do what i needed to get done, but they referred me to a place i could go to get my wisdom teeth pulled. However they did do first time pt xray as well as a teeth cleaning which my parents were bugging me about for years. I was a bit reserved at first but man, Dr. Kaur did a fantastic job and her staff was also accommodating. They took me in as a walk in first timer. If you need to go, call in an schedule an appointment - I got super lucky as a walk in. You wont regret this place as your choice for dental.
